Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by the application of building survey procedures to assessment of all structural components that form a building project.

This unit of competency can be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

comply with OHS and organisational quality procedures and processes

apply and interpret relevant documentation and codes

apply design principles relating to performance of the building system

identify typical faults and problems and the action required to rectify such faults.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

documentation, including design brief drawings, specifications, codes, design concepts, construction schedules and other necessary supporting documents

research resources, including timber product information and samples

access to relevant legislation, regulations and codes of practice, including the BCA

relevant computer software package and suitable hardware.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice, with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills for this unit are:

application of building survey procedures to the assessment of building systems

application of design concepts and principles

application of measurements and calculations

communication skills to:

communicate building work progress

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, share information, listen and understand

read and interpret:

legislation

plans, specifications and drawings

other relevant documentation

use and interpret non-verbal communication

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

written skills to record relevant information and prepare reports

interpretation skills, including the ability to interpret documentation from a wide range of sources

numeracy skills to apply measurements and calculations and to interpret mathematical information

technological skills to facilitate use of the organisation's software and office equipment.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

applications of structural principles in buildings

building survey practices

design principles and behaviour of structural members undergoing stress, strain, compression, bending or combined actions

nature of materials and effect of performance

relevant legislation, codes and practices, including Building Code of Australia (BCA), Australian standards and OHS requirements

work drawings and specifications.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Specifications include:

detailed specifications addressing specific components, e.g. construction, mechanical, structural, services or other requirements

developed specifications

industry standard specifications

preliminary or outline specifications.

Standard construction practice includes:

Building Code of Australia (BCA), including relevant Australian standards.

Performance requirements include:

cost

detail relating to materials

milestones

nominated subcontractors

provision of site access/facilities

quality assurance

quality of work

standard procedures

standards of work

work schedules.
